![]() Like the Greek messenger god it was named for, Mercury is said to govern transportation and communication. ![]() So what does all of that have to do with people wanting to hide in their rooms for weeks at a time?Īstrologers believe that the Moon, stars, planets, and Sun affect happenings here on Earth and that each planet in our Solar System rules a different aspect of life. Outer planets have less frequent, but longer-lasting, periods of retrograde motion. Mercury and Venus appear to go retrograde when they lap us.īecause Mercury completes its orbit around the Sun in only 88 days, the Swift Planet becomes retrograde three or four times in a calendar year, for about three weeks at a time. If one car is driving faster than the other, the slower car will appear to go backward from the perspective of a person in the faster car, even though the slower car is still going pretty fast in the same direction.įor the inner planets, Mercury and Venus, the mechanism that causes them to turn retrograde is the same, but in reverse. ![]() Picture two cars on the highway going in the same direction in different lanes. When the Earth overtakes an outer planet, that planet appears to travel backward, as compared to the stars, for a time. Because of this, the Earth often laps these planets in its journey around the Sun. The outer planets - Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - all take longer to orbit the Sun than the Earth does, because their orbits are larger. While the location of the stars relative to the Earth is fixed, at least from our vantage point, the other planets in our Solar System all orbit the Sun at varying speeds. Sending our thoughts and prayers, bbs.Mercury and Venus appear to go retrograde when they lap earth.īecause of the Earth’s daily rotation, the objects in the night sky appear to “move” from east to west through the night sky. While the impact of retrograde will likely be felt by all, our deepest sympathies go out to these four signs who will experience its symptoms the most.

This earth sign is known for its stubbornness, so you may feel frustrated with authority figures and have a strong desire to have your voice adequately heard. Though it starts in Gemini, the retrograde will switch over to Taurus on May 22 and stay there until its completion. Do your best to approach conversations with a leveled head and awareness, and although this won’t be the last Mercury retrograde of 2022, know that this particular retrograde will be over soon enough (June 3 to be exact!). ![]() And remember, misinformation is still likely to spread. Take special note of your word choices, as Gemini rules communication - say what you mean and mean what you say. As with all retrogrades, beware of tech, travel and communication issues. Beginning on May 10, Mercury will appear to move backwards in the chatty, clever sign of Gemini. Feeling a bit off lately? Well, you’re not alone, because Mercury Retrograde May-June 2022 is officially upon us.
